Use Grips to Edit Objects
Grips are small squares that appear at strategic points on objects selected
with a pointing device. You can drag these grips to edit objects directly and
quickly.
Use Grip Modes
Grips are small, solid-filled squares that appear at strategic points on objects
selected with a pointing device. You can drag these grips to stretch, move,
rotate, scale, or mirror objects quickly.
When grips are on, you select the objects you want before entering a com-
mand, and then you manipulate the objects with the pointing device.
